Gordon & MacPhail
is an ancient house of Elgin, in the heart of the Speyside region.
The society was founded in 1895 by James
Gordon and John Alexander MacPhail. The originality of their business
was the combination of a grocery with a wine and spirit business.
The grocery is still active nowadays.
John Urquhart joined them from the very first year and he was dealing with
the whisky business. His grand children are still owners of the company.
James Gordon and John MacPhail were pioneers in the marketing of single malt
outside the Highlands. Single malt was the most appreciated in Scotland, while
the international markets preferred the blends, because more predictable
Their policy was from the beginning to buy new whisky at renowned distilleries
and to mature it in casks they select themselves. They bottle the whisky at
the moment they decide it has reached the best quality level possible.
The results of this policy is that they have now lots of rare whiskies, because
they are maturing in their own warehouses (some of them are over the 50 years),
or because the producing distillery has disappeared since a long time.
Gordon & MacPhail use(d) to add caramel to their bottlings, in order to
obtain a more intense colour.

Whisky is an alcoholic drink. Let's prefer quality to quantity as the abuse
of alcohol beverages can damage the health.
Consuming alcoholic drinks during pregnancy, even in small quantities, can seriously affect the health of the child.
Consumption of alcohol impairs your ability to drive a car or operate machinery, and may cause health problems.
